This is the first day of April's A to Z challenge and no its not a April fools post, I swear! This challenge as i might have mentioned earlier is very special in that, i am going to write my first novella, and this is my first A to Z challenge. And i am sure this will be the first challenge that i am gonna see through to the end. With that let me kickstart today's post aptly titled for A as 'The Arguement!' and this post starts the Novella titled "The Fury of Raido!".

It is not every day that silence filled the Order’s command centres. It is the kind
of silence that comes before the storm. And surely, a storm is in store for the
fate of mankind, if it can still be called that!

Although, the screen only showed the shadowed images of the
directors, the grim expressions of everyone is evident. Thoughts of aggressive
propositions and their consequences raced in their minds, for Order is no ordinary organization. They
call themselves the driving force of mankind but the ugly truth is that they
are the reason for the artificial calamities but they are also the power that subdues
them. It is led by the most brilliant, wicked, reckless and radical minds and
the world is its lab-rat. It comprises of four infamous people and a mysterious
fifth person.

The mad scientist that has been exiled because of his
exposed massacre of human experimentation, The Major who defected the
government-alliance with his now private army stationed in international
waters, The Spy, nicknamed Radar who
is the information back bone of the organization, The greedy Industrialist who
is the monitory back bone of the organization form the four Generals of ORDER. It is said that the fifth person,
reached out to The Spy who in turn
contacted everyone else to form the Order. Not even the inner circle has any
idea of the identity of the leader, ‘Mr.O’.

“What do we do with them?”
the leader’s voice finally tore the silence apart.

“It’s time we take
constitutional measures! There are still some obedient mutants, we should get
to those ignorant fools before the rebellion gets them and turn them into our
network! Once the public rejects them fully, they will have nowhere to go. It’s
time we force them into the underworld and play this in our arena”.

“We should inject Vi-Tox
labels into as many as possible just-in-case. It is better to test its
compatibility fully before we use them in real combat. These mutants sure are
resistant to common methods of killing. I need to test several of my
bio-weapons. The future of their control is in bio-weapons. We also need to be
able to tell them apart, or we will end up infiltrated!”

“We need to secure our
island bases. Since there has been no contact with the outside world, we can be
sure there are no mutants there. Special training should commence on tactics,
if we are to expect a revolt. Either way we are short in number and must do
something about it!”

“Lets put the word out that, they can be turned back to normal and
capture their families. They will be forced to work for us and also act as
guinea pigs while their families serve us as slaves in return for not killing
them. But this all depends on whether we can control them. So you will find us
the solution as soon as possible doc!

There are a few blood-thirsty mutants out there. Let’s capture them and
use them against their kind. We will follow the scent of their chaos. To be
able to hide from us this well, they must have a system in place. You will
infiltrate them and get us what we need Radar.

It’s time we take control of Scyntha. The evil nation will readily
accept us. Put the plan in motion Major.

We should keep the secrets of Shinjuku incident and only reveal the
destruction to turn the masses.”

“But what do we do with
her?“

“You will use all the methods you can think of to bring that power out
of her. We need that power!!!”

Who is the mysterious leader behind Order? Who is 'her'? What is the Order upto?

Tune in everyday for more as the story transcends the known world into unknown realms.

Back in Feb, i decided to participate in this popular blog challenge cum blog-hop AtoZChallenge. And i am hoping, i will fully complete the challenge, because i am motivated under the account of several reasons actually. For starters, the rules are pretty easy. I have to come up with a title or the theme of the post that starts with the particular letter-of-the-day. Sounds, pretty easy right? Hold it right there. You see, I got all exited and decided to change my theme for the challenge. I am going to attempt a novella of the sorts for this challenge. I have always wanted to write a novella. Coming up with the story line to adopt was fun but i also changed it several times. The good thing is i changed the story line because, i thought i was going way too fast with the story, so as i started giving detailed outline, i decided on a bigger plot and divided it into two or three novella's of which i plan to complete atleast two during the challenge itself. *Mini Reveal* It is a fiction with supernatural element! *Mini Reveal* and I hope you like it.

The other reason is that, ever since i started this challenge, i was bloghopping to create a reading list of the sorts for this challenge and i have come across some great blogs, so thanks AtoZ challenge for that. I will share my reading list with you guys before the challenge, and if you find it interesting too, you can go there and comment to support them. And if i have missed on some good one's you can share those too so that i can add them to my list! So here goes the theme reveal for April's AtoZChallenge, an introduction to my first ever novella.

*Hey**Heeeey**Hooo**Hooo**drumrolls**curtain raises*

Ring.Ring.

"Hello. Who is it?" "No details on the phone. If you want a tip on his base location, meet me at the Ruvie alley down the Orlington cross in exactly half an hour.....beep". He raced through the busy office of CNN to the editor's office. "Not now Marley", the editor waved him away and turned back to his own discussion. But he wouldn't have it "I might have a lead on his location" "Whaat? Marley this is madness! We have been through this time and time. Don't risk your life on this. It is probably just another prank" "Clear your private line and wait for my line. I am taking Nina with me," With that he ran back."You are too reckless, my stupid son!"

Ruvie alley is where the government first started using weapons of mass destruction on those bloody mutants, he recalled as he drove the rugged old van at crazy speeds with Nina, tuning the broadcasting system. As he took his eyes off the road to check the time right by the Orlington cross, his van abruptly stopped and he hit the wheel right on his nose and fell to the side unconscious. While Nina made futile attempts to hide, some red bastard dragged Marley out of the van and shook him awake. With new scars added to is face, and his obvious fury showing, marley looked as if he was about to burst. "Before you do anything, think about her", a sharp mysterios voice came from behind the van and fear overcame Marley. His face looked as if his spirit has been sucked out of him. "I like that face. Is that from seeing me or is that fear for this lady" He broke open the sliding door to reveal Nina.

Although she has been in dangerous situations and found herself in the middle of mutants, nothing could prepare her to be threatened by Typhoon. She fell on her knees shaking but quickly mustered courage enough to come out of the van to Marley's side and boldly say "Go ahead! I am not afraid of the likes of you" "Is that so? Took you long enough" He said mischieviously. "We do have an eventful day. Why don't you take a minute for yourself and you can start doing what you came here for" "Are you really going to tell us, where his base location is?" "Even better! I am gonna show you." "Fuck you bastards, you are just gonna kill us. Here or there doesn't matter!" "What if i say you don't have to come out of the van and i will personally make sure you get back safe" "What do you want from us?" " Broadcast the declaration of his highness live". So it has come to this after all, the revolt of mutants and the war between humans and mutants. Compared to all the lives that are going to be sacrificed, their life seemed irrelevant. "Welcome onboard the speed monster, she is faster than the fastest and lighter than a feather, the J-lingo! Get on before before she disappears" J is already in the drivers seat as Nina and Marley got into the back of the rugged van.

With a jerk, the van rushed at unbelievable speed, right into the cul-de-sac. J hit the pedal and the van roared with new found power, the kind that will make anyone skip a beat. And just like that it jumped into the sky, "Man! Can she fly? or can she fly!" Marley held the broken door so tight to not fall over Nina who is right behind her. After all there isn't much space in the van besides the equipment. A thud from above told Typhoon is riding over the van. As the van proceeded towards the deserted city of Verios, they saw the remains of city of what was once a symbol of development and breakthroughs in genetic engineering where it is said that no disease is uncurable. As the van neared its intended destination J slowed down and stopped mid-air . The sight took their breath away. Mutants all over the place around what seemed like a rubble of trash flattened to act like a stage. "His highness will be here any moment. Its time you start broadcasting"

As the crowd intently listened to his speech, there are millions across the world watching him with fear of uncertainity as to what might happen and there are others who are tracking the broadcast to locate the source.

"....Although, you label us as 'mutants', we are only 'altered' and still humans. I have waited for you to understand that for a long time now Mr. President, as you planned to assasinate me by consuming an entire state in a nuclear explosions. This is what made me come out. We are closer to you than you think Mr, President"

"I know you bastard! Wait till i blow that Verios again" The blasphemous putin-missilehead headed to Verios."I will watch you live as you burn!".... But the missile never came

His highness disappeared from the stage and a holograph showed the president in his command center watching them on his monitor. And behind him, his Highness 'Law' appeared. "Like i said, I am closer than you think!", he surprised President, who fell on to the ground with panic attack. "We only want peace!" "Who do you think will answer the murderous crimes of your kind?" he managed "These are but acts of individuals. Together we can work towards the peace of humanity" "How would i know if you are not trying to take control of my nation" "I am in your command center! I would've done that already if i wanted to already" "Nonsense! Shoot him!" But nothing happened. No one moved a limb as they were frozen by fear "Your decision will forever influence the violence and bloodshed that this country will face, but i will not force you!" As law turned away, realization hit him"Wait!..."

Our story precedes this day by a decade...

Get ready to real all about "The Fury of Raido!", the first novella of this series.********
